American P.O.W. Artist: Lt. Guy Brown Wiser, 20th Aero Squadron

Guy Brown Wiser was born on 10 February 1895 in Marion, Indiana. Wiser was a graduate of Cornell University in 1917. He served in the Air Service as a pilot in World War I. He flew two-place, single-engine biplane De Havilland DH-4 bombers on combat missions during the late-war St. Mihiel and Argonne drives. His final mission took place during the Argonne effort, on 26 September 1918. Flying from Maulan to bomb Dun-Sur-Meuse in the company of aircraft from another squadron, the formation was attacked by seven German planes after dropping bombs, and was thereafter engaged, still over German territory, by a much larger enemy force. During the fight, five of the seven U.S. planes were lost, four airmen ended up as prisoners, and seven were killed in action.
